Oppenheimer is now available to purchase in the Apple TV app. With previous Blu-ray releases, Nolan expands the aspect ratio for the imax scenes so it's not letterbox. But hasn't done the same for digital purchases (previously).
Has anyone purchased the movie with Apple TV and seen whether the aspect ratio switches? Or is it letterbox the whole way through? I can't see any mention on the store page.
Completely agree. Sadly, the Apple TV 3 had exactly this — standard ‘templates’ for apps to use so they all behaved in a similar way. The templates available weren’t great, but instead of improve them, Apple decided to just let app developers do whatever they wanted. The result is the mess you describe.
